The garments definitely help with postural support as they encourage optimal horizontal extension and retraction of the Scapulae, (upper central key points) giving a Scapulothoracic neutral posture. The value in this for function is to lessen kyphotic stress in the primary curvature which physiologically eases counter-stress in the secondary curvature of the segments. The wearer should therefore be aware of less effort and mechanical stress particularly with prolonged standing or sitting and may, indeed, notice improved ergonomics with upper limb activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please find below some of our most frequently-asked-questions about the Core Precision™ Undershirt. If the information you are looking for is not here, please contact our team at Equmen by sending an email to info@equmen.com.

The EQUMEN™ garments are comfortable enough to wear all day, so you can incorporate their advanced benefits into any activity from work to sport to weekend.
For Sport - to assist core strength, temperature control and performance
EQUMEN™ tops also provide core muscle support during any sport activity, such as golf, tennis, running or walking. By keeping the muscles warm, raising body awareness and improving posture, they will help to optimize your performance and can reduce the risk of injury.

Post sport recovery - to aide muscle recovery and postural support

Everyday - underneath your casual clothes or suit for improved posture and a defined look
They are ideal for tailoring your body when wearing business suits, particularly slimmer fitting styles. They can also be worn under t-shirts and polo shirts.

To maintain the integrity of your EQUMEN™ garments, we recommend you follow the care instructions exactly. You should machine wash cold with similar colors. Thanks to the quick-dry properties of the garment it is best to hang or line dry, to prevent fading dry in the shade where possible. They will dry very quickly and be ready to wear again.

Do not iron

Do not use fabric softeners or bleach (this weakens the fabrics compression)

Do not tumble dry (this weakens the fabrics compression and affects the moisture wicking properties)

Place arms in the arm holes and then put the shirt over your head. Roll the product onto your skin. Then adjust the garment to ensure correct placement of compression panels for optimum comfort and fit.
Pay particular attention to the compression panels on the chest, which should fit just underneath your pectoral muscles. On the long sleeve, the arm compression panels should be placed to give bicep and elbow support.

Take a breath and work the undershirt up to your underarms, then pull one arm out first, then the other arm comes next.
From there you are almost done – just pull the shirt over your head.
Alternatively, once you have worked the undershirt up to your underarms, cross your arms over your body and grab the bottom of the shirt from behind. Then pull both arms over your head.
Finally remove your arms from the garment. Click here for downloadable instructions

Tops

To determine the best size/fit for your body you must know your BMI (body mass index = height &amp weight). You can also use your chest measurement to choose your size, some people find a combination of the two methods help them find their most accurate size.

BMI Size Chart

Chest Measurement Size Chart

Once you determine your size you may try a size down for greater results. Wearing a size down will provide even greater compression and enhanced well being benefits. This is only recommended to those who have worn compression garments previously.

If you are border line between two sizes and have never worn a compression shirt before, we recommend you go with the larger size. This is because the second skin fit of EQUMEN™ products can be quite confronting to first time users and can take a little while to get used to.

Bottoms

Generally you can work out your underwear size from what size you wear in other brands. However, to precisely determine the best size/fit for your body you can use a combination of the BMI (body mass index = height &amp weight) size chart shown above and the waist measurement chart. Some people find a combination of the two charts help them find their most accurate size.
